the hand and arm or by a signal light or signal device in good mechanical
condition. However, when a vehicle is so constructed or loaded that
a hand and arm signal would not be visible both to the front and rear
of such vehicle, then such signals shall be given by such light or
device.

A vehicle
shall be considered as so constructed or loaded that a hand and arm

shall be driven to the left side of the centerline of a highway or
public road in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in
the same direction unless such left side is clearly visible and is
free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit
such overtaking and passing to be completely made without interfering
with the safe operation of any vehicle approaching from the opposite
direction or any vehicle overtaken.

When
approaching the crest of a grade or upon a curve of the highway where
the driver's view is obstructed within such distance as to create

ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.

Upon
a roadway which is divided into three (3) lanes, a vehicle shall not
be driven in the center lane except when overtaking and passing another
vehicle where the roadway ahead is clearly visible and such center
lane is clear of traffic within a safe distance, or in preparation
for a left turn, or where such center lane is at the time allocated
exclusively to traffic moving in the direction the vehicle is proceeding
and is signposted to give notice of such allocation.

Upon
all highways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed
of traffic thereon shall be driven in the right-hand lane for traffic

in motion upon a highway having two (2) or more lanes of traffic proceeding
